Contents

1 Prerequisites

The prerequisites for the seminar are a solid knowledge of the basics of differential and algebraic topology, meaning: manifolds, Poincaré duality, bundles, cobordism, transversality, generalized homology and cohomology, homotopy groups.

Participants should be familiar with the ideas covered in the first 7 chapters of the book [Ranicki2002]. However material from sections 2.2., 4.2, 5.4, 7.3 will be covered during the seminar. In addition participants should be familiar with the basics of spectra in stable homotopy theory. A good reference here is [Hatcher2002, Section 4.F].

The main references for the material covered in the seminar are [Ranicki1979], [Ranicki1992], [Kühl&Macko&Mole2011] and [Wall1999].
